<...next take down the lincoln monument in d.c.?> Sure. Almost EVERYTHING could eventually be demolished. Not a stone standing from coast to coast. No electricity, no heat, no water, no jobs, businesses, education, healthcare, police or rule of law...yada yada. Simply a giant meat grinder of extermination which will reduce the world population by at least 1/3 to 1/2 in the next 10-15 yrs. Why? Because that's what happens when major empires collapse. It's been happening as long as we have historical and archaeological sources and material to evidence familiar pattern it follows. Began posting book lists of hi quality academic studies about it, in late December 2007, before the Great Recession became obvious. It doesn't happen often enough for understanding of the well established historical processes to exist in popular consciousness. So, everyone continues their daily routine as long as they possibly can even while the civilization plunges faster and faster toward total collapse. The last time there was a socio-economic, and political collapse nearly as powerful as this was: The Hundred Years War, in Europe: 1337-1450. The current dissolution is going to be bigger and more lethal because it's global. Look, there's nothing special about me. Was lucky to have had a successful career as a free lance professional stock trader, in the financial markets. Required following the trends of trillions of $$ as central banking guided the replacement of capital, and equity which produces growth with civilization destroying levels of debt. "Following the money" began flashing warning signals in 2005/6 far larger than I'd seen in my 40+ yrs in the industry. That spurred several years of reading to understand the larger processes at work. Bottom line? Nobody should be living in or near a large metro area. The killing fields will spread outward from there. Again, the longer term process is still in the early stages. You think you don't recognize America now? Give it a few years and you'll be astonished by what you see. Or you could read the historical literature out there and know. It's not theory. We all know individual human nature doesn't change. Nor does it change in large groups. All empires rise and fall. It's been going on since our species first gathered together and formed farming communities. Rant over. You folks should feel free to respond however you wish. My apologies in advance, for not replying to any comments you may have. Have to log off and continue the many annual harvest chores out here in, beautiful, deep rural, America where taxes are lo and life is good. Isopatch
